// For the chord I thought I could just use patterns with
// only the root or 5th being played (like 1 4 0 0 90 0),
// but that doesn't work if you are using voicing ... well,
// note quite. The notes will be the 3rd, 5th, etc. but the
// octaves will get shifted. So, easy to use 2 patterns,
// one with full chords and a bass with the same voice/track
// for the single note fills.
